I woke up with a smile. I pulled my turtleneck over my head and popped in my earbuds, humming 'Dancing Samurai'. Completely dressed, I walked out of my room and to the kitchen. This time, it was five in the morning. I made myself honey nut Cheerios again and ate. I never really poured much into the bowl, so I finished quickly. I resumed humming 'Dancing Samurai' and started quietly singing.
Gakupo strolled into the room. My back was to him, but I heard his footsteps. "Good morning," he said to me.
"Good morning," I replied. I turned around to face him. He turned from the cabinet and looked at my face. One second he was smiling. The next, his eyes widened in shock. And for the next twenty seconds, he was doubled over laughing. "What are you laughing at?" I asked, worried. I dashed to a mirror and gasped. Someone had drawn a moustache on my face. I actually giggled at the sight of myself, but rushed and grabbed a wet towel to wipe it off. Gakupo was wiping his eyes and breathing heavily. I faced him with my hands on my hips.
"Merodii," he said, looking at the ground, "you have to admit that was funny." I relaxed my glare and smiled slightly.
"Fine, you got me," I laughed. "Just eat already." He sat down with his cereal and began to eat. Still failing to get 'Dancing Samurai' out of my head, I began to sing almost silently.
"Oh! Merodii!" Gakupo said.
"Yeah, what is it?" I asked.
"We've never heard you sing!" he proclaimed. "And, as a Vocaloid, you must have at LEAST a decent voice." I spent a moment pondering whether that was a compliment or an insult, and deciding on nothing, answered.
"You're right; you never have heard me sing…" I muttered. "Gakupo, do you guys have good equipment around here? Like, microphones and electric instruments?" Gakupo answered affirmative. I began to plot. "Would you like to sing a duet with me, Gakupo?" I asked. "I could burn it on to a CD. I think it'd be fun, and maybe we could choreograph a dance and film a music video!" I was grinning from ear to ear. Gakupo was enthusiastic about the idea as well.
"I say that's a great idea!" he exclaimed. "Hoe about trying to do it on Wednesday?" he suggested. I nodded.
Rin and Len once again bounced into the room, bubbling with chortles. "Gumi said she looked hilarious," Len whispered to Rin. They both dissolved into giggles.
"Who looked hilarious?" I asked curiously, walking up to the twins.
"You did," Rin said, holding up her iPod. It had a picture of me with that freaking moustache.
"Why, you!–" I then proceeded to chase Rin and Len around the room. Len shrieked girlishly when I grabbed his collar and pulled it up, so he was looking me in the eye. "Delete the pictures," I growled. Rin and Len both fearfully nodded and scampered away. Rin furiously tapped her iPod, erasing the pictures from her camera and deleting the email she got them from.
"Wait… You got those from an email?" I curiously asked. Rin nodded. "Who was it from?"
"It was from Gumi." Gakupo had been chuckling from the sidelines up until now. He stood up and sighed.
"When will she leave me alone…" I stared at Gakupo. What did he have to do with this? He walked to the door. "I'll be getting ready for dance," he called over his shoulder. I shrugged and sat down. The Vocaloids all showed up together. Everyone was giggling except Gumi, who just smirked.
"Hi there, Merodii." She spat the words at me arrogantly. I glared at her and promptly left the room, bidding Miku, Kaito, Meiko and Luka good morning. I pulled on my dance clothes and kicked my fluffy bean bag a couple of times. I spun on my heel, trying to stretch out, and grabbed my bag with my water bottle and other dance items. I walked out the door and grabbed my jacket, pulling it on and exiting the building. The cold winter air hit my face hard, and I shivered. I sneezed automatically, and pulled a tissue out of the pack I keep in my coat pocket.
Everything we did today in dance class was with a partner. Gakupo and I danced the whole time. Now that I knew about Luka and Gumi's history, I felt sorry for Luka. Miku and Kaito were really good partners. It seemed that the only time Kaito danced decently was when he was dancing with Miku. I felt Gumi's heated glare, but tried to ignore it. I instead focused on Gakupo, studying the angular features of his face. Dance class flew by, and I gathered up my things and left. Gakupo gave me a look as we were walking out, and without saying a word, I responded to his silent question.
We danced again that night. Would that become our trademark? A dancing couple? Would it become a nickname? The Dancing Duo? I laughed as I thought those. When I arrived, Gakupo looked pained. "What's wro –" I started, but I was cut off when Gakupo suddenly wrapped his arms around me. I was shocked, to say the least. Gakupo seemed like such a collected person. Gakupo rested his head on my shoulder and I stroked his hair as we swayed back and forth.
I definitely love Kamui Gakupo, without a doubt. The only problem is that Gumi will definitely interfere. She already managed to make a fool out of me this morning. What else would she do?
"Merodii Blossom?" Gakupo asked, looking into my eyes.
"M-hm?" I murmured, starting to become a little drowsy.
"I love you."
A/N: Ooh, what's gonna happen next? ... Dunno. Thanks for reading! I'll have a bio for my Vocaloid OCs on my profile in a little while.
